Decimals into Fractions
Learning Objective
I can convert decimals to fractions with denominators of 10 or 100.
Key Concepts
Fractions with a bottom number that is a power of 10 are easy to convert into a decimal number because there are number places for counting base 10 fractions.
To convert from a decimal number to a fraction, the decimal digits become the top number of the fraction, and the bottom number is based on the smallest number place from the decimal.
To convert tenths, put the top number in the tenths place; to convert hundredths, use both the tenths and hundredths places together.
